Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I am come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I go forth, lo, the prince of Greece shall come.

Then he said, It is clear to you why I have come to you. And now I will give you an account of what is recorded in the true writings:

Και ειπεν, Εξευρεις δια τι ηλθον προς σε; τωρα δε θελω επιστρεψει να πολεμησω μετα του αρχοντος της Περσιας· και οταν εξελθω, ιδου, ο αρχων της Ελλαδος θελει ελθει.

Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.
